I suggest Forretress for Stealth Rock user due to the good synergy it has with Swampert and rain in general. It can also support teammates with Rapid Spin (hazard removal) and Volt Switch (pivoting). aw dang... but doesnt forretress not rlly have good stats? Forretress's stats are seemingly bad, but it is actually a great addition to most teams as of now. It has extremely high defense, which makes it unbreakable unless the opponent is boosted several times. Its low speed also makes its Gyro Ball moderately powerful, which is great for utility pokemon. The downsides are probably only that it does not have recovery moves and low special defense. Ok, so how should I make my Forretress? Stealth Rocks, maybe Spikes, and what else? And if I'm going to use Gyro Ball should I make its Speed IV 0...And what nature? If I'm going to use Gyro Ball I'll use a nature that decreases Speed, like Brave for example. I recommend explosion so when you finish setting down hazards you can go out with a bang :P
